meh right now bnet isnt very fun especially for a first timer. its filled with bots and doesnt have alot of people who arent just rushing and leveling on.

single player is nice because you can use the /players (number from 1-8) code to increase the difficulty and thus the exp of the monsters. so if you are stuck before a boss you can speed up the grind abit. also you can use ATMA for muling.

You can also take single player characters on open bnet still right? I know it's full of hackers and cheaters, but if you just want to play with friends then it's great.

Just started playing again recently too. Frenzy Barb on Nightmare at the moment, my gear is beyond awful though.

You're writing style is really nice. ^^

My only concern is - how the FUCK do you get so many golds/greens so early on in the game without any MFing gear and a shit-to-start-with build.

IF you really want melee I'm sure you know you want to level enchant warmth and possibly telekinesis.

Unfortunately, right now I'm at a point where the time I spend playing the game to gather material surpasses the actual writing. Believe me, I really would like to write something! But if I wrote something right now it would only be "I found a rare ring and a faster hit recovery charm" and I'm not sure how interesting that would be. lol

I think it only seems like I find a lot of things because I'm not mentioning the majority of runs that drop garbage.

For those of you saying you can't go to hell with a Meleesorc or beat the Ancients:

Some people I know did ubertristram in hardcore with a party of naked characters, only wearing broken belts to get the slots for potions, a good melee sorc can do UT solo.

The melee chars stood back and they used lots of buffs for life. It still takes skill, I'm sure. But the survivability offered by +400% life +200%resistall and standing behind fully synergised spells, lower resist and conviction, is significantly greater than that of trying to solo the game with the easiest build untwinked.

You have to be careful to not die in hardcore, but I don't think the players in the iron man were doing anything difficult.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Lol? I was level 45 when I finish normal (I play on p8 and never ever rush. I kill every single monster. I get through cows in p8 too). How can you stay level 40 after finishing normal?

I'm usually in mid-30s when I finish normal if I'm soloing o_O Using far less fragile builds, though.

Sorry if I missed something, but where's max enchant? Isn't that where like 90% of a melee sorc's damage comes from? Not to mention how powerful your merc will get from the skill..
